The two men who were slashed outside Tampines West Community Club last Friday, resulting in one of them getting his nose hacked off, are in stable condition.

A spokesman for Changi General Hospital, where the victims are warded, told The Sunday Times that they were both conscious after surgery.

One had a 19-hour operation to reconstruct his broken nose, while the other was believed to have suffered injuries to his face, head, arms and thighs after being attacked by several men.

The victims, who are both in their 20s, were with four other friends in a fast food restaurant when the fight broke out early Friday morning.
